The apocalypse is upon us, the four horsemen are already on earth, and the Anti-Christ is about to be born. Our only hope lies in the hands of a demon and an angel who have created an alliance to stop it. Their motivation: the demon, Crowley, enjoys driving his Bentley too much, and the angel, Aziraphale, still needs to add to his rare book collection. These celestial beings blunder through their mission to stop the apocalypse and make us laugh through the process. In Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman have masterfully crafted a complexly hilarious narrative of the end of the world. With all of the apocalypse stories that have saturated the media, Good Omens is the one that you should pick up first.

I know Supernatural takes a lot of inspiration out of Good Omens; it only makes me like the series, and the book, even more!

Supernatural is one of my favorite shows. A couple of die hard fans suggested that I read Good Omens. The Gates, by John Connolly, is a great YA novel that is inspired by Good Omens as well. I’d highly recommend it.
